Jockey Challenge

It is an even day. There are so many jockeys with solid chances – but can they get through the mud? Maybe I will have mud on my face, but the jockeys in contention are Tim Clark, Zac Lloyd, Tyler Schiller, Jason Collett and Mark Zahra. Tim Clark may just have a great day and get the chocolates early.
